For over a
year now, Folsom Street Events has been under attack by anti-gay and religious
right groups from across the country. The attacks have been relentless. They
have threatened our major sponsorships, picketed our events, called upon public
officials to denounce us, and rallied their troops against our community. As a
small organization with only two staff members, we do not have the capacity to
stand up and respond to these continuing assaults.

We
contacted theNational Coalition for Sexual Freedom to access the Incident
Response program. Within hours, we spoke with a highly trained and
knowledgeable media and PR consultant for support. In addition to her moral
support, we received a meticulous training for our Board of Directors and
staff, preparing us to better manage these attacks. Also, the program
consultant was able to field all media inquiries - and serve as a positive
voice for our community - during our events, so that we could focus on our
production duties. We can't thank NCSF enough for their good work and for being
there when we needed them.
